SPIRITS OF THE REALM
Ice Realm
Common misconception:
The ice realm actually consists of 2 islands but most cartographers think it is one island since they do not spend adequate time in the freezing cold mapping the ice realm. The western island was attempted to be inhabited by Coucilon but fell to logistical ruin. The eastern Ice Realm island is secretly inhabited by a guild that records world history and stores info and books via the great halls of the Sentia library.
